Neat idea. This one can be implemented without a heuristic. Done as follows: 2011-12-03 Bruno Haible <br...@clisp.org> gnulib-tool: Verify that the License field is present and non-empty. * gnulib-tool (func_get_license_raw): New function, extracted from func_get_license. (func_get_license): Use it. Warn if the module is not a test module and has no license.
